Indiana lawmakers voted to expand the list of health care professionals who can opt out of providing abortion services to women, based on moral and religious objections.

The measure is headed to Gov. Eric Holcomb. If he signs the bill into law, nurses, pharmacists and physical assistants across the state would be able to refuse to provide any abortion care. Already, physicians, hospital employees and health clinic staffers have this option under Indiana law.

The bill would allow pharmacists, for example, to refrain from filling someone's abortion-inducing drugs if they had a moral or religious objection to doing so.

"That doesn’t mean he is blocking the filling of the prescription, or she," said bill author Liz Brown, R-Fort Wayne. "That’s merely saying the pharmacist themselves, that particular individual, is not going to be the one doing it."

Senate Enrolled Act 201 now heads to Holcomb, a Republican, who hasn't said whether he'll sign the legislation. During his first two years in office, however, he signed every bill backed by the anti-abortion community that has landed on his desk.

Opponents of this measure see it as the Republicans' latest attempt to chip away at abortion rights. On the Senate floor, Senator Mark Stoops, D-Bloomington, questioned whether the bill would prevent women from getting abortions or abortion-related care, due to potential shortages of health care professionals in various communities across the state.

"We have a small religious minority that is dictating its beliefs on the general public in the state of Indiana by the provisions of this bill," Stoops said. "... It's just another attack on a woman’s right to choose what to do with her own body. We just keep going further down the rabbit hole."

But supporters of the bill say as abortion processes evolve, so must the rules allowing certain people to opt out of the process.
